Title: Inserter with collation tracking
Inventor: NOLL HARRY C JR
IPC: B65G47/82
Filed: 1990-04-12
Abstract: An inserter and a method of tracking handled items in an inserter. The method includes: tracking individually-handled items; collation tracking of the individually-handled items in sets of mutually complementarily-associated items, each of the sets of mutually complementarily-associated items including a particular individual envelope and the particular insert or inserts intended for insertion thereinto; sensing individual items in the inserter, the sensing including detecting of defective items comprising damaged, mishandled, misaligned, and missing and multiple items when single items are supposed to be present; stigmatizing the mutually complementarily-associated items of a particular the set as being defective when at least one of the mutually complementarily-associated items of the particular the set has been detected as a defective item during the step of detecting; controlling and initiating corrective action in the inserter as a consequence of the detection of defective items; and updating tracking information in correspondence with corrective action taken by the step of controlling and initiating; wherein the steps of tracking and collation tracking include dynamic memorization of sensing information provided during the sensing step.

Inventor: HORNHOFFER KARL
IPC: D21F9/00
Filed: 2002-02-27
Abstract: The invention refers to a process for removing water from a mechanical pulp, chemical pulp or paper sheet 2, with dewatering taking place in a first zone 13, where the mechanical pulp, chemical pulp or paper sheet 2 runs, for example, between two wires 1, 3 in a dewatering machine 10 and is dewatered advantageously in a wedge zone 13, i.e. a sector in which the two wires 1, 3 converge in a wedge shape. It is mainly characterised by-the water at the end of the first dewatering zone 13 or adjoining it being removed from at least one wire 1, 3 by a vacuum, where the water is directed to the inner chamber 4 of a suction box 5 by the air current generated in the wire 1, 3. The invention also refers to a device for implementing the process.

Title: Method of producing an etch-resistant polymer structure using electron beam lithography
Inventor: BEAUVAIS JACQUES
IPC: G03F1/78
Filed: 2002-03-15
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a structure of etch-resistant polymer on a substrate. A layer of sterol capable of polymerizing to form this structure is first deposited on a face of the substrate. Then, a first region of the layer of sterol is exposed to an electron beam to locally polymerize this layer and form the structure of etch-resistant polymer. A second region of the layer of sterol that has not been exposed to the electron beam is removed to leave on the face of the substrate only the structure of etch-resistant polymer. Finally, a region of the face of the substrate not covered by the structure of etch-resistant polymer can be etched away, and the structure of etch-resistant polymer removed following this etching.

Inventor: MARYAMCHIK MIKHAIL
IPC: F23C10/18
Filed: 2002-05-23
Abstract: Apparatus for separating solids from flue gas in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler comprises plural vertical, impact type particle separators located within the CFB in a plurality of staggered rows, The impact type particle separators employ hung elements supported from fluid-cooled tubes which form a collecting channel, typically U-shaped, which separates particles from flue gases conveyed across the particle separators. By separating the support function from the collection shape required by functional performance considerations, the strength requirements of the material used to form the collection shape are reduced and the strength of the material from which the fluid-cooled support is made is much higher due to the lower operating temperature of the material comprising the fluid-cooled support, thereby permitting the use of lower cost materials.

Abstract: A plurality of actuators are provided at predetermined intervals on the reverse surface of a predetermined side wall of a swimming pool. When an electric signal corresponding to a sound to be propagated in the water is given to the actuators, the electric signal is converted by the actuators into a mechanical vibration signal to cause vibrations. The actuators are secured directly to the reverse surface of the predetermined side wall by an adhesive or otherwise, and thus the vibrations of the actuators are radiated as a sound in the water of the pool through the side wall.
Patent CA-2393386-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH DOUGLAS WILBERT PAUL
IPC: F01K25/06
Filed: 2002-07-22
Abstract: The invention provides a method of converting heat energy to a more usable form using a multi-component working fluid mixture that contains ammonia and water. The working fluid is operated in a thermodynamic cycle that includes liquid compression, vaporization, expansion through a turbine and condensing. The multi-component fluid varies in temperature during phase change allowing for the use of counter-flow heat exchangers for the heater, cooler, recuperator and pre-heater. Significant recuperation is possible due to the temperature change during phase change. A  pre-heater can be applied to ensure only single-phase vapour exists within the heater.   The invention can be used in conjunction with a biomass combustor or with waste flue gas from an existing industrial process. The coolant exits at a temperature sufficient to allow use in external heating applications or to minimize the size of external heat rejection equipment.

Aqueous juice (30) recycled (40) from a subsequent step (39) is also fed (29) to the mixing zone (26). The mixture is fed (32) to a processing apparatus (33) whose operation involves the generation of a gradient of flow speed within the flowing suspension, which opens cells of the vegetable biomass to liberate their content into the aqueous juice. A slurry (34) is produced that is fed to a separator (35) for partitioning into aqueous juice (36) and mush (37). The mush is removed (38). The aqueous juice is divided (39) into major (40) and minor (41) portions whose ratio provides for balance between water entering and leaving the process, considering that the major portion (40) is recycled to the mixing (26) zone and the minor portion (41) removed. Preferably, the ratio is greater than about 4:1. Preferably, the processing apparatus (33) has an effective shearing gap whose width is larger than 1 mm.
